Mizuki:
I'm baaaaaaack.
Logan: That sounded like it needed to be in a
horror movie.
Rouge: Let's get on with this.
Wittny: Yeah, I
want to see what happens.
Mizuki: Alright, alright. Impatient
people. I'll get on with it as soon as one of you does the
disclaimer.
Rouge: I did the R&R last time.
Wittny: I did
the disclaimer.
Logan: I hate you both.
Everyone: JUST DO
IT.
Logan: -.- Fine. Mizuki Hamihachi does not own X-men,
Twilight, or any characters from either story-line.
Mizuki: I
tried bribing the real owners, but they wouldn't budge.

Wittny's
POV
I
t was midnight when I heard the chopper. It was still a far ways
away, but it was headed for the school. I jumped out of the bed and
ran to Rouge's. "Rouge," I said, shaking her roughly, "Rouge
wake up." When she still refused to respond, I coughed into my hand
so that I could mask my voice. "Yo," I said in Logan's gruff
voice, "Kid, wake up." Her eyes were opened in seconds, and she
looked around her to see where he was.
"You," she practically
growled at me, once she realized what I'd done, "Are a sick and
twisted child. You know that, don't you?" we laughed at her joke,
then she asked, "Why'd you wake me up a dark-thirty in the
morning?"
"Someone's coming to the school, via government
chopper," I answered, suddenly becoming serious. "Most of them
are reeking of blood lust. They don't like the idea that we're
alive, and I don't like them. I can't tell if they're here to
kill us or capture us; they aren't thinking about it."
Suddenly
the alarm went off, signaling that someone was coming. All the kids
were in the main room within five minutes. "Everyone," Professor
said from his wheel-chair, "We have a problem. People are coming to
take us away, and we need to find a way to stop them without them
knowing that we are mutants. I've tried all I can do, but there are
too many."
Everyone automatically looked at me. I was the
strategically advanced one. "Well," I said, not wanting to end up
getting anyone killed. "Logan and I can stall them as the X-men,
while everyone else escapes to a different location. I suggest we
meet at the Smithsonian. From there, we can run to a different place.
There aren't many of us, due to the fact that it's summer
vacation, so we can go to a place I know. I can, almost, guarantee
that it'll be empty. That good enough for everyone?" All the kids
nodded their heads in agreement. "Good. Now go and pack all of your
things. Make it look like you left when the others did. Leave no
traces of yourselves behind. Make sure to leave a watch or something
like that, so it doesn't look like we cleared out in a panic."
As soon as I was finished, the students ran to their rooms. I
counted how many of us there were. There were 10 kids, the professor,
and 8 X-Men. As I geared up into my red X-men suit, I went over the
blue-prints of their house that had been stored into my mind, even
after all these years. Yes, we would have enough room for
everyone.
"Wittny," I heard as I finished zipping up my suit.
I turned around, knowing that it was either the professor or Logan
'cause everyone else either calls me Mrs. Wildcat, or just Wildcat.
I was right. Standing, or sitting if you want to be literal, in my
door way, was the professor. His worried look tipped me off that he
knew where I intended leading the kids, despite my ability to block
my mind from all such attempts. "Are you sure you want to do this?"
he asked, giving me a choice, "Your body may heal at the fastest
rate in the world, but the same cannot be said for your heart."
I
nodded my head, unable to trust my voice not to crack under the
thought of seeing that place again. He knew me well enough to take my
silence as an, "I don't know," despite my nod. He then read my
expression carefully, trying to find the lie that was hidden behind
my stone face. When he was about to offer a better location, Logan
showed up. "Sis," he said to me, eyeing the stone cold expression
on my face, "You ready to move?"
Why was everyone giving me a
choice! Why couldn't someone just give me an order for once! If
this was what the president had to go through every day of his
work-time, I was going to have to send him a basket full of
candies.
I still didn't trust my voice not to shake, which he
would mistake for fear and make me stay behind, so I just nodded. The
professor looked at me and thought, You
don't need to do this. I
wanted him to be right, but he wasn't. I had to expel the last bit
of Bella that was in me. Don't get me wrong; I didn't hate her or
anything, but, if I continued to allow her to live on in me, I
wouldn't be able to fight the way I once did. Logan could tell that
my fighting skills had diminished in the time that I had been gone,
though he said nothing to the others for fear that I would break his
arm constantly for the next two weeks. We may heal fast, but we still
feel pain. If anyone knew that, it was me.
As
Logan ran on the ground at a fast pace, like a wolf, and I jumped
from branch to branch at an equally fast pace, like a cat/ninja, the
thoughts of the intruders became clearer. Stupid
mutants, making me leave home . . . We just need one to attack and we
get the green light to kill . . . If those two are there and don't
cooperate, I'll rip the Adimantium from their bones myself. The
last thought was surprising. I focused on his personal thoughts for
mere moments, seeing that he was the leader of this little band.
"Logan," I yelled, knowing that they couldn't hear us, "There's
about twenty of them, and the leader knows
us,
seems like he played a crucial part in the whole claws thing."
I
heard a low growl come from him as we approached the chopper. I
jumped down from the nearest branch, to land next to my brother and
in the clearing, just as they, too, landed their chopper. I moved
closer to him as, exactly, twenty men marched out of the chopper
S.W.A.T Team style. There were ten on the left and ten on the right
of the door. Then, out came a man.
I felt a strange furry as I
looked at him. I had an urge to run over there and slit his throat,
but I held myself back. I didn't need to tell Logan that he was the
one I was talking about in the forest, The Man said, "Well, well,
well. If it isn't Logan and Wittny. Oh, I'm sorry, Wolverine and
Wildcat. My mistake." A growl formed in my chest and be came more
pronounced in the silence that they had caused in my
forest.
One
man lifted his gun, as if to shoot us, when the leader put his hand
up. "I wouldn't do that," he warned, "There wouldn't be any
result other than irritating and provoking them. Logan would just
heal, Wittny would stop it before it was even half-way there, or one
of them would kill you before you even had the chance to finish
pulling the trigger." The man, a horrified look now replacing his
nonchalant one, lowered his gun quickly.
I knew that the kids
were going to need more time than it would take us to fight them.
There were too many and we would have to run at some point. I didn't
want to start the fight too early, so I thought it would be best to
let him rant and stall. I picked at his mind bit by bit, searching
for any clues about us, when he broke my concentration. "There's
no point Wittny," he said, looking me in the eye for the first time
that night, "You won't find anything there about you all. That
chip in your head will make you merely skim over it."
He
thought that he had discouraged me, but he'd slipped up. "You,"
I growled, losing my temper, "Put a chip IN MY HEAD! WHAT KIND OF
SICK FREAK ARE YOU! YOU (insert unlady-like and rude word here and
here)!" To say he was surprised would be an insult to the
expression on his face. I'm sure he was mentally hitting himself in
the head several times over for being such an idiot.
"Who are
you?" Logan asked, speaking for the first time, in an even tone I
might add.
The man faked being shocked for a minute, before
saying, "Logan. Don't tell me you don't remember me. Oh, wait,"
he said, chuckling, "I shot you both in the head! HOW COULD YOU
REMEMBER ANYTHING? LET ALONE THE FACT THAT I AM BENSON!" His
laughter was more pronounced now, as if he were laughing at some
inside joke that we were supposed to be in on. "Those bullets
really did work on you two." He said as if he'd made a new
discovery that would get him the Noble Prize. What it was going to
get him, however, was a broken nose if he didn't shut it.
"What
the hell are you talking about," I said, not bothering with
formalities. I was tired, I was sleepy, and I wanted nothing better
than to sit on the window-seat in the room the Rouge and I shared and
to doze off. If I didn't get some coffee in me before we left, I
was going to be one very
cranky
mutant. "I swear," I went on, "If you don't start talking,
I'll kill you."
"Well," he said smiling once again at the
thought of me trying to kill him, as if I couldn't, "That
wouldn't stop these guys from attacking that school of your's,
now would it." I knew it, they were after the school. "And don't
try telling me anything different. I know that there's a jet
underneath the basket-ball court, I know that there are tons of
mutants there, and I know that, on top of being a boarding school, it
acts as an orphanage to mutants who can't go home to Mommy and
Daddy because there freaks. I have all the information that you've
ever feared me getting my hands on."
My eyes widened, there was
no way we were going to be able to cover all that up. I looked into
his mind and saw that he knew nothing of the X-Men and calmed down
some. I sent the message to Logan so he wouldn't do anything rash.
"You won't get anywhere near those kids," I said. If there was
one thing that being part cat did to me, it was make me have motherly
feelings towards anything over one year younger than I was, and, as
far as we can tell, everyone there is. "I'll rip your lungs out
of your chest and stuff them down your throat if you even get close.
They
came to us seeking refuge, and that's exactly what they're going
to get: Refuge from experiment-doing, inhuman, Dr. Frankenstein
wanna-be's like you."
At that, I decided that the kids were,
probably, getting into the bus that we used for school activities.,
and I charged at them. I felt Logan behind me in a second. We fought
a good fight, knocked a few out, broke some serious bones, and,
most-likely, made it to where some of them won't be able to
reproduce for a couple of years. We left when they started shooting
bullets. We were quick healers, not masochists, and bullets, I knew
from experience, hurt.
I
searched the school for any signs of life. When I picked up none, I
told Logan, telepathically for fear that they freaks with guns would
hear, Everyone's
gone from the school, headed to the Smithsonian. From the damage that
we did to those guys, I'd guess that we've got half an hour to
get there, change, pack, and get out. After that, we can use the
bikes. He
nodded, showing me that my message was heard.
We spent, exactly,
three and a half minutes getting to the school. I spent two and a
half minutes getting into a pair of blue-jeans and a V-neck, white
shirt with flowy sleeves that covered my hands. It took fifteen
minutes to pack all of my stuff and clothes into my duffle bag and
purposefully drop my oldest watch on the ground as if I were a normal
student who had packed without thinking. Five minutes after that,
Logan and I were out of the mansion with four minutes, maybe five, to
spare.
We
rode in silence, both our minds going a million miles a minute. I was
too tired from spending so much time reading Benson's mind to even
consider reading his, and he wasn't about to open up, so I was left
alone to my thoughts. As I rode down, I realized that it would be a
long way to the Smithsonian, and I wouldn't be able to take silence
that long, so I put in my head phones and started playing "Sweet
Dreams." By the Eurhythmics (A.N.
I don't own this either, I'm just listening to it as I write
this.) The
reason why I liked it so much was because it was the same some-odd
verses over and over again. Easy to remember.
We, eventually,
came to the meeting place, only to be greeted with worried faces. The
younger children looked at me, and I tacked their names and powers
off in my head. I had known them all so well because only a few kids
are forced out of their homes and have to stay at the school.
Brian
was the actual name of the boy who was responsible for the antidote.
He had grown his brown hair back and had even gotten a bit of a tan.
Kelly was a small girl who could see the future. Her pixie-cut, black
hair reminded me of Alice, and her brown eyes and innocent face made
many people trust her. Kaitlin and Natillie were a pair of blonde
twins with blue eyes. Kaitlin could read people's minds, and
Natillie could move things with her mind. They were a terrible
twosome when it came to card games. Tommy was a tall boy who was very
fidgety. What ever he wrote came to life. The professor and I
discovered that they were merely illusions, but they were so real
that your body would consider them real and react as if the were. He
could do them without writing, but they weren't as detailed. We
found that he put so much description into his writings, that he
could easily visualize it as real. He had red hair and brown
eyes.
Zach was a tall boy with blonde hair and hazel eyes. He
could astral-project himself anywhere he wanted to be, at the expense
of his first body being conscious. Soon, however, he will be able to
do so and they will both be able to fight. Cameron was a tall girl
with long, brown hair and hazel eyes. She could teleport, just like
Kurt, only she looked normal. Brock was a tall boy with brown hair
and eyes. When he wanted to, his entire body became like steel, shiny
and all. Jean and Jack were another set of twins. They had long,
blonde hair, brown eyes, and they both had wings.
As I tacked off
their names and powers in my head, Logan explained to them what was
going on. I knew that professor was going through his head and seeing
what the man had said. "So," the professor said after Logan had
finished and the kids were clinging to me. "We must run. We won't
be able to return to the school for a good time. I know where Wildcat
has in mind, and it would be perfect."
Everyone looked to me,
wanting to know where we were going, and I could barely say the name
without crying, "An abandoned house in Forks, Washington."

Mizuki:
Done!
Logan: I've gotta say, this looks good
Wittny: You
really were calm when you wrote this
Mizuki: Usually I'm mad or
board when I write, so I'm not as good.
Rouge: You should write
like this more often. People get hurt less when you do.
Mizuki: I
don't think the soldiers would agree with you on that one, but
you're right.
Soldiers: WHAT?!
Mizuki: (hits them all in the
head with a huge wooden fan) SHUT UP!
Everyone: R&R
Mizuki:
I got a lot of reviews for the last chapter, so let's aim for five
this time.
